quickpres

HTML scrolling presentation for math classes with LaTeX syntax for math (using MathJax). The advantage of a scrolling presentation over slides is that you unhide stuff slowly and it more mimics a board. You can "zoom out" to see more of the "board" so that past things don't just disappear into oblivioun.

Simple syntax converted into HTML that is displayed with a web browser. The syntax is explained in the sample presentation pres.prs. You should run ./quickpres.pl in this directory to generate pres.html, which you then view in a browser. To see the syntax, just view the pres.prs file in a text editor. Internet access is required to run the presentation however if MathJax is used, you'd have to edit the file to use a local installation.

For a demo output see the pres.html file.

Some more hacky scripts

The runinfirefox.sh is a very simple script that when passed the name without extension say ./runinfirefox.sh pres will start a python http server and runs firefox on pres.html. This will work only if you have Linux.

The buildprswatch.sh is an even more Linux/GNOME specific script for writing presentations. You need zsh, epiphany (gnome web), and gvim. You start it as ./buildprswatch.sh pres and it starts an editor on pres.prs, starts epiphany on pres.html. Whenever you save, the script will rerun quick press (with -A), and epihpany automatically reloads. You might need to edit this script to suit.
